FORCING THE ISSUE.

LONDON, Dec. 26.-Tbe latest popular theory

her hand by taking advantage of the discrepancy
between the Cars extensive military prepara-

movement is intended. Whether this theory be
correct or not, there is certainly good grounds
for the belief that some scheme is foot to

promised to attend the funeral of Mr.. Hendricks.
and, although VicePresident and closely
sociated with the chief executive, the latter, at
the last moment. concluded he would not go.
He had real excuse for not attending the
funeral, either. Then there was more reason
for him to attend the funeral of the distinguished
Indianian. Mr.. Hendricks and the President
were very good friends to the very moment of
the formers death. An old New Yorker who was
thoroughly acquainted with both the President
and Mr. Manning said to night: ''Mr Manning

failed to refer to Cleveland that ingrate-

you take an active part in the campaign"
To which Mr.. Manning replied 81 am

his soul"
Predictions that the President would not, at
the last moment, attend the funeral. were not
